Question:
My trailer has an electric air ride suspension with two compressors can you charge the battery and run the compressors at the same time while going down the road? The battery will last 2 days and is obviously not getting enough through the 7way

Expert Reply:
If you are not getting enough power from your vehicle's battery to charge your Redarc In-Vehicle Battery, part # 331-BCDC1250D, for very long, you can supplement the power going into the RV battery with a solar panel like the Go Power Solar Flex, part # 34272630.
We have an extensive selection here that runs the gamut of price and wattage. I've linked to this list for you.
Also, be sure to check the manual linked below for the Redarc. Page 12 has a table for cable sizing. If you do not have the proper cable or fuse size, it can damage the charger.
